Maps defaulting to 'Walking' instead of 'Driving' on iMac

Is anyone else having problems with Maps? Despite going into settings and setting 'Driving' as the default, every time I plan a route it defaults & moves to 'Walking'. Not a HUGE problem but mildly annoying.

if there is a bug there in the macOS baked in Maps.app

to be proactive you can file a bug report / submit your Apple Feedback here: Product Feedback - Apple



ref: Change settings in Maps on Mac - Apple Support



Otherwise your options would be to wait as suggested above by dialabrain or

use a different maps application...
